orphans
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The orphans
CSS property sets the minimum number of lines in a block container that must be shown at the bottom of a page, region, or column.
In typography, an orphan is the first line of a paragraph that appears alone at the bottom of a page. (The paragraph continues on a following page.)

/* <integer> values */

orphans: 3;
/* Global values */

orphans: initial;
orphans: revert;
orphans: revert-layer;
orphans: unset;
